Spring Fever

Spring arrives tomorrow, 3/20/10 at approximately midnight. As the ice melts away and makes room for new growth, the early Spring bulbs are beginning to push their way up, the days are finally getting longer, the Tastee Freez has reopened it's doors for the season, I got a sudden burst of energy to mop all of my floors and new love is in the air. Inspired by the end of a long winter, we changed up the cocktail list this week at the restaurant. Here are a few of my favorites.

We infused Tequila with peanut butter using a method called fat washing. This is a culinary method in which you melt a fat and combine it with a spirit. The liquor then becomes infused with the flavor and the fat is removed. In this case we melted the peanut butter and mixed it with the tequila. After approximately 48 hours we froze the mix, which allowed the fat to re-solidify and then the spirit was strained out.

Although the temperature outside is 64, the forecast for tomorrow goes back into the mid 30's. We have a few cold spells still to come but the Fever is here and Spring is literally just around the corner. Cheers!
